joeyt Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Aye, I went to see Durham City v Bedlington a couple of weeks ago, couldn't belive how many ex NUFC/Heed players in the Bedlington team. Most humorous thing was Martin Brittain being left on the bench for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Bedlington the better side and deserved it. Some NUFC players barely looked interested. Felt sorry for Campbell, tried his heart out. Ferguson's free kick was excellent but he got a bit naughty towards the end down in the corner next to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 No wonder when you have coaches like Steve "kick it longer" Stone taking the first team, reserves probably don't want to step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 No wonder when you have coaches like Steve "kick it longer" Stone taking the first team, reserves probably don't want to step up. It isn't much better for the U21s/U18s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 And having a former defender as reserve manager is just utterly turgid. Not just that, but he's Scottish too. He'll have as much of a philosophy about football as I have about spiders. Needs a big clearout before we completely waste the little talent we have available in the lower ranks.

You're clearly talking bollocks btw as the reserves do actually play some very good football. A lot of one touch passing and moving which is totally different to the first team. The contrast was even more apparent earlier on in the season when we were playing a lot of route one stuff and our reserves played a completely different style to this.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yup. Sure he's an old coach, believes a lot in the physical training approach, but he does encourage and allow players to play their natural game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, that part was sort of tongue in cheek (any reasonable Scottish coaches will flee to England, for good reason). I'm just worried at the quality of youngster we are producing and how we seem to be letting a lot of them stagnate. Really worrying. His speciality is always going to be on the defensive side and would need to be backed up by a solid attacking coach (which me may or may not have).

I'll trust your better judgement but if you're playing 'good football' you generally don't lose all the time. Would you say the players being taken for the first team has had a lot to do with it?

binnsy Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Tooj and OCk are right the reserves do play good football, possibly too much football at times as they are encouraged to play and don't resort to hoofing it upfield but can then give it away in dangerous positions. Unfortunately they haven't had good results but you certainly get entertaining games. Biggest problem though is they have been decimated with injuries especially at the back. Numerous times this season i have watched them and they have had to play the likes of Newton at centre half due to no one else being available due to injuries, loans or people in first team squad. The likes of Satka look really promising but his age group should really be U18's this season not the U21 and a few years at that age can be massive difference physically.

I'll trust your better judgement but if you're playing 'good football' you generally don't lose all the time. Would you say the players being taken for the first team has had a lot to do with it? It's all manner of things. You really can't judge the "reserves" solely on results, because the team make-up and opposition varies so much. I've only seen a couple of your kids' games this season, but you had many different players involved. When we played Man U U-21s they had Fletcher playing FFS. We tend to have players playing in an age group above their own - so for example, the U-21s have a few U-19s involved, and the U-21s themselves tend to be out on loan. The team can be hit-or-miss, so what I look for is a consistent philosophy. We've been pretty good at that, but I haven't seen enough of your guys to comment.
